Sadly the gift voucher I was provided due to my old bag wearing out wasn't enough to cover the full cost of the newer model that would have matched its capacity. I opted for the smaller one - but have found it far less compatible to my needs. It doesn't fit my laptop anymore, the top pocket is gone (which was great for storing extra bits needed quickly) and the reconfigured interior layout means everything is clustered together rather than on opposite sides like before.

Not great!

When I was purchasing this bag I specifically unchecked the box that said that Chrome could contact me about promotions, news, etc and yet here I am getting an email that’s asking me for a review of something I just purchased. Why does every company feel entitled to just blow up everyone’s email boxes with annoying spam? Why has this kind of invasive communication become so pervasive in our society? Do companies really believe that this kind of behavior is pleasant for consumers or makes us like the company more? You already have my money what more do you want from me? Leave me alone.

The previous version was great, I used it for 5 years until it broke. I tried the new version for a month and it hurts my back, I can’t use it anymore. And the side pocket is way less convenient than the top pocket of the previous version. It is sad.

I'm happy with my bag. I like the changes made from the previous version. Like the laptop sleeve and it feels more spacious. Still missing the waterbottle holder tho.
